The good folks at Fila were kind enough to send me a pair of the new toning resistance long tights to try out and that’s exactly what I did. I wore them during a strength training workout and on a 3 mile run. Here are the Top 5 reasons why I didn’t want to take them off like them and want to give you some, too.

1.They look FABULOUS on. Sure that’s superficial but when I look good, I feel good and enjoy working out more. Yes y’all they hide the flaws. Some tights show the not so flattering side of my thighs and butt, ahem, but I could run to Target to do a little shopping in these tights and turn a few heads.

2. They FEEL good. When I pulled them out the package I thought I would never be able to pull them up, but I did and they felt comfortable. They hugged my body but didn’t give me that squeezed-to-tight feeling; and I love that they come high enough that I don’t have spillage at my waist. Very important, folks.

3. They keep me WARM. I hate to be cold. Hate it. I know I live in Hotlanta but those early morning runs in the winter time can be chilly. These tights were thick enough for my winter workouts.

4. Husband paid me a COMPLIMENT. He noticed my new look and happily volunteered to take this picture for my post.

﻿GASP! The ever so important rear view.

5. They were LONG enough. At 5’11 finding tights and pants that are long enough for me can be challenging. I didn’t feel like I was wearing high-waters. They fit comfortably and had no slippage. Slippage sucks.

Would you like a pair? I have TWO to send to two lucky winners. Here’s the skinny – no pun intended – on how to enter.

Please count me in. I love the idea of those Toning pants. I believe the workout outfit and how cute it is, is JUST as important as the workout itself. I know, working out is really the point, but I believe in coordinated cute workout clothes. I'm also looking for longer pants to keep me warm as I run a 5k in Dec. Any tips on keeping warm, while running in the cold would be great. I live up North--in VA.

I just started following your blog! I think I found you through the ATC runner's blog or ATC facebook page? I can't remember. I'm always looking for new running blogs to follow! I'm also from Atlanta, and I just ran the Thanksgiving half too (my first!).

P.S. This is great timing for these tights as it is absurdly cold this morning!

Those magical pants sound like just what I need as I get back into running. I just had my first baby five weeks ago and have been chomping at the bit to start running again. The pants sound like they would be a great confidence booster for me because let's face what women post-baby doesn't want something to hold everything together and make her rear look fabulous?!
